There's no way in hell I'm picking up my pen for my tablet tonight so I can't show yall the sketch but a important part of Angel's story is his deep and intense homophobia towards himself.

Like in his human life he genuinely had mental breakdowns and prayed to God cause he though of a man in lust.

The longer he's been in hell the better he gets with his issues but man did he not have a good time in his human life.

Marrying Carmilla and having Isabella kinda helped but not that much.

I bring this up cause Huskerdust is canon in my rewrite but logistically it would take A WHILE cause of their issues.

Just two people who want each other but their problems are crippling <3

Strohl and Hulkenberg are so funny to me as a duo. They're the exact same type of people - they NEED to pledge their life to a liege or they'll start ripping up your couch like an understimulated shepherd dog. However they go about it in polar opposite directions. (Early-game story spoilers ahead, mid-game gameplay spoilers) Hulkenberg had her life purpose taken away years back and comes to realize hyperfocusing probably isn't the optimal way to go about it, so she expands her horizons to do her duty better. Strohl had no will to live until joining the assassination plot, and then it fails so bad he resolves to hyperfocus so hard the classes he unlocks can only do one thing, critical slash damage really really well

Hulkenberg is the formal knightly one but she delights in mucking around and would rather fist fight people than think. But then she demolishes you in chess and teaches you tactics while Strohl, the familiar casual guy who's a lot more stategically minded is the one always sharpening a sword and implying if anything happened to you, seppuku may be on the table - Gallica this is so scary play encounter music - my courage has increased

It all clicked when I saw their third tier classes are paladin/dark knight and samurai. Ohhhh you guys are henchmen. You wanna be henchmen so bad. They're the exact same kinda guy but are completely baffled by everything the other guy does. They have everything in common and nothing in common. They both think they're the normal one of the group. They have completely different ideas about how to best do their jobs but they simply must beat the shit out of each other on the deck daily or else they might have to actually go to therapy. I need an early 2000s team up/roadtrip action movie with these two where Will is faking being kidnapped to draw out the bad guys but Gallica didn't tell Strohl and Hulkenberg because their bad acting would immediately give it away and they proceed to absolutely demolish the metaphorical furniture of the house of Euchronia looking for the world's most specialest lil' captain. Do you see my vision 🤌

Chat Blanc actually had the GOOD ending that was ruined by canon.

Venom is back!!!! He's looking stylish!!

[martyrbat]

my secret confession is i think a lot of current art in comics is pretty but sometimes way too glossy and lifeless... it kinda feels like a sticker sheet where they just swap out generic stock poses that they have on hand for that character rather than the art being reflective of the actual story and moment the character is currently in

Wolfgang Akire through the lens of the law: an analysis

i would like to give a disclaimer that while im very interested in the law, im not a lawyer or in law school. my knowledge comes from the few law classes i have taken, participation in a couple mock trials, and some personal research, so please take this with a grain of salt! if im missing something or saying something inaccurate, please let me know! i am always open to learning more!! not to mention this is my understanding of law in the United States, so this may differ by country.

in the end, this isn’t meant to be too serious, just using the knowledge i do have and applying it to p:eg!!!

okay now spoilers for the prologue and all of chapter 1!

well ig before we get into it let me say rest in peace a king... I will miss you, you hypocritical bastard........

alright, so firstly, let’s consider Wolfgang’s character profile.

two things stand out to me here. the first is how he has “successfully defended over 200 of his clients without dropping a single case.” we can infer that Wolfgang is a criminal defense attorney. it’s possible he could be a lawyer in the civil law sector instead, but considering his strong feelings about murder and crime, and the fact that this is Danganronpa, it leads me to believe he is a criminal attorney for the sake of relevance (I don't think any of us would care if he were a corporate attorney after all).

now, that sentence you just read is particularly interesting in the case of Wolfgang Akire. From the prologue's mock trial, we can see that Wolfgang feels very passionately about murder, condemning the murderer even without insight as to why they committed the crime, instead big on retribution and justice (which the definition of could definitely be debated). Yet, as a defense lawyer, Wolfgang would have been defending people from criminal accusations, from anything to armed robbery, arson, or murder. we’re not particularly sure on his view of other crime, but we can assume he also has a similarly negative view of it that he has of murder. out of 200 people (within such a short time span of finishing law school too), what are the odds that out of all 200, not one of them was actually guilty? of course, lawyers have the ability to drop or not take on cases, but as his profile says, he hasn’t dropped a single case! it’s quite possible he had complete faith that every client was innocent, but with the evidence and files he’d have to go through, he had to have seen something that was damning and prepared accordingly to address in the most sympathetic way possible to avoid prosecution winning their case. and that's the thing with Wolfgang; his job requires building sympathy for the accused, and it requires sowing seeds of doubt in prosecution's case. there had to have been someone that he was defending from an accurate charge(s). so whether he knew it or not, he has very likely defended people guilty of crime; and yet, he still feels very adamantly against them.

Here's where I fall short on my analysis; I honestly do not know what to make of this conclusion. his behavior and his ideals are almost contradictory in a sense. is this insight to wolfgang's clear hypocrisy? but what does that really say about him? I'd love to know what any of y'all think in regards to this :0

Now, the second thing that stands out to me is that he wants to make sure that everyone is fairly represented and make sure logic and evidence drive the discussion. While this does seem to be true, the mock trial shows that he lets his feelings become a big part of the discussion as well. everything he does screams prosecutor to me, so it was shocking to find out he works as defense. Wolfgang has a very interesting way of viewing things, almost dichotomous, unlike what his profile says. it's similar to the format of a trial, where it's not meant to be a team working together to find the complexities and nuance within a certain issue, but rather an attempt to prove your point and disprove the other side. trials aren't supposed to be a discussion where everyone reaches the truth together (Danganronpa trials are not very accurate but of course I don't think they were intended to be in the first place), they are for you to win your case-- as a defense attorney, its poking as many holes into the prosecution’s case as possible. (little fun side note, this is very similar to how debate works; Wolfgang and Damon are a lot more alike than one would originally think.)

Considering all of this, it makes me wonder if Wolfgang was intentionally trying to split the group apart,,,, because it's easier. because it makes more sense. as defense, lawyers may pin the crime on another, but without the burden of proof that prosecution does, they can sling out accusations to increase doubt on prosecutions case without having to actually prove it (that would be left for a separate case). it's easier to divide a group and have a bunch of people follow you while isolating the 'other side', and with that division made, it's more likely someone you isolated will be the 'villian' anyways; and in this case, this was true-- Eva, who has been socially ostracized her whole life, was driven to murder to protect herself from the blinding fear that everyone was out for her (even if that wasn't entirely true). this could be just how Wolfgang has gotten used to going through his life. maybe the bad habits he picked up from his father were the divisive kind of us vs them mindset lawyers have to have in a courtroom.

speaking of his father, let's address the motive-- there's so many things that Wolfgang's blackmail could be about; faking his law degree, not taking the bar exam, defending horrible people, the list goes on. Honestly, a scenario i have considered is that it's about him defending his father for a crime he actually did commit, yet winning the case; or his father commuting a crime in general and winning his case, leaving Wolfgang conflicted as that is the sort of thing he does all the time, yet his father had just taken away his mothers life and gotten free (this is very much just me guessing a possibility though). when Wolfgang was hallucinating, he says he's not like them (to diana who he thinks is someone else) and he'll never be like them; It's most likely that he saw his father. the theory I'm going with right now is that his father was at the very least heavily involved in the likely murder of his mother (thus bring her back in reference to his mom). his father was probably also a lawyer and may have pushed wolfgang into going into the field himself, especially when he sent him to law school as a teenager. maybe Wolfgang wanted to live up to the expectations his father had of him. who knows exactly what Wolfgang wanted everyone to know him as, it was probably a long the lines of a competent lawyer. but, as of right now it's all speculation (objection! haha.... that was not funny my bad), so again, I'd love to hear some thoughts.

Another little funny thing i'd like to note is when Damon and Eva come back to the dinning hall and Wolfgang asks where they've been, Damon responds saying it was for discussing the motive. He's internally smug about how defeated Wolfgang seemed to be by that, and I thought that the funniest shit; very similar to being on cross examination, thinking you have the witness in your hands, when suddenly they wiggle out of your accusation. he's so real for that.

that is pretty much all i've got so far! let me know what y'all think and thanks for reading!!! :)

•S: Meeting him after a long time • Includes: female reader, recent eli of the shop • ⚠️: grammar?, boring maybe ? Just some random brainrot; might edit some parts again :p

Masterlist

" Have..." You perused, trying hard to light the bulb

" we.. " but the cogs seem to be trying in vain

"met before? "

A boulder dropped on Eli's head.

" We just met a few days ago? "

" We did? " Prankster much? You think frowning, being even more confused.

You just moved into Gangdong and are pretty sure you didn't have anyone you know here. What exactly is this seller playi-

" Oh oh " something strikes

" Big Daniel from Fashion department?? " You point, eyes crinkled and lips upturned

Another boulder crashed on Eli's head that he almost tripped over

Okay, maybe the cogs are a little rusted due to all the physics it had to tolerate over time " My bad, guess I've got amnesia " you avert your eyes, a sweat dripping by your cheeks

" Is that so? " He smiles, eyes shut, seemingly seething

" So you don't remember Yenna? "

You perk up at the familiar name

" What about her? " You raise a brow

" It's her dad " his muscles seem to be working a lot to keep that smile intact

" You'd babysit her for me, rings a bell? "

His co-workers would curiously glance time to time in your direction along with the other customers prodding & vying for his attention. He dismissed 'em rather easily, as if he couldn't hear them at all.

" It was some blondie with a mullet though..."

He only purses his lips and peers down at you in response

" So... you dyed your hair and changed your style.... for what exactly? Now you're harder to remember "

Eli refrained from pinching your cheeks and it showed when his fingers twitched.

It wasnt that Eli was hard to remember before, just that you were much more invested in Yenna to pay attention to anything else.. but now he was definitely hard to remember with.. looking so... typical.

You stare

Or maybe not.

" Also, we met up a few months ago " you clarify

" Hmm.. was it? " very ironically, this was the longest conversation you two shared, with you being quite dismissive about anything that didn't have yenna in it.

It was a ritual, he'd drop yenna at yours and be off to his work. Whenever he'd try to talk, he'd only get absent minded 'hmms' & 'ohs', Yenna having your full attention.

Which was a score actually, no crazy fan to worry about. But maybe, sometimes somewhere in his desiderium and loneliness, just maybe he longed for a little bit of warmth.

He was weirdly glad to have your attention, he won't deny..

" So! will you let me buy these or not? " You raise your purchase

He's pulled out of his trance

Now, you purse your lips.

"At a hefty price for you ma'am, as a penalty" He smiles, genuinely this time, leaning into your space with a hand on the wooden display rack beside you

" Or... A visit to yenna to make it up to her? " He asks, hopefully

In one hand, you'd more than love it to meet Yenna, on the other, there were things to unpack and appointments to attend.

Seeing you reluctant, he didn't know why but he put up his best pleading eyes he could (method from small Daniel)

" Um.. maybe next time"

Much to his disappointment, it didn't seem to have an effect on you. No, you didn't even notice it.

Which is usual with you, now that he thinks about it.. What'd he expect?

" 'Cause have to unpack a little since I just moved not long ago"

His little sulk is apparent,

" but I'll definitely make some time soon. I'd more than love to meet Yenna again " You flash a toothy grin

" What about me? "

Instant regret. That's not what he meant, no he didn't mean to sound like-

" It was nice meeting you too. Let's hangout next time! "

Oh!

you smile brightly yet again and you might as well just be an angel, he thinks.

" I think you have an important customer to tend to " you point eyes to an old man in his forties or fifties behind Eli

" I'll be going then, see you around-" You step back

" ' Hostel's Big Daddy ' " you stagger in your laughter

Ah! He purses his lips, little pink on his cheeks. That tickled his heart.

Even as you walk away in your own little world, Eli ignores the murmurs and his burning back, eyes solely lingering on you, a small smile playing on his lips.

He hopes time flies and you'd meet again very soon.

" ELI! (We know) you're whipped (but please we need) help- "

" Shh "

" But sally- "

" Shh "

" Yes uncle Shh "

[swallowtail-ageha]

"And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles? The war that Tolkien wrote about was a war for the fate of civilization and the future of humanity, and that’s become the template. I’m not sure that it’s a good template, though. The Tolkien model led generations of fantasy writers to produce these endless series of dark lords and their evil minions who are all very ugly and wear black clothes. But the vast majority of wars throughout history are not like that."

People often parade the "what was aragorn's tax policy" as a famous grrm quote, but often ignore this one which follows, which is way more interesting and reflects better the priorities of George as a writer. And it's even more interesting how the man himself proceeded to answer to this question with Elden Ring, specifically with Marika's backstory and her subsequent genocide of the Hornsent.

Marika herself seems to be the character that's hero whose journey has long ended, the little girl whose village got razed and came back for vengeance against the evil, demonic looking overlords who killed her family and stuck them in jars. But, this time, we are shown full on her vengeance, she did pursue a policy of genocide, she had pacific churches that had nothing to do with the jarring of shamans, cause old women to be imprisoned and battered t best (and at worse SA'd if you intepret the Grandam's lines in that way), and have baby hornsent in their little hornsent cradles (as the Hornsent dialogue that plays if you don't summon him for Messmer says). We are fully shown the length that the hero's "rightful vengeance" and "reconciliation of the land", and by lord above if it isn't an awful, brutal one
